Apartments for Sale
Gramercy is in Downtown on the East Side, bounded on the west by Park Avenue South going to the East River, 14th Street on the south and 23rd Street on the north. Gramercy is named after a “crooked” stream or “Crom messie’ in Dutch. It is a quiet neighborhood centered on Gramercy Park, a private park sandwiched between East 20th and East 21st Streets just before Park Avenue South. Only residents who live around the park have a key and the public is only allowed in the park once a year. Here you’ll find 19th century brownstones and carriage houses still lining the area, although there have been a significant number of high rise apartments and sky scrapers constructed too. The Gramercy Park Hotel, built in 1925 and renovated in 2006 hosts uniqueness and comfort where guests receive keys to the exclusive “secret backyard garden” during their stay.
Looking for a place to satisfy your appetite or your craving for a cold beer or hot coffee? Walk along Irving Place day or night and choose from among a mixture of restaurants, bars and other commercial establishments. Japonais on East 18th Street is an upscale fusion restaurant for – you guessed it, Japanese dishes. Enjoy numerous concerts of both famous and independent bands almost every night at Irving Plaza and Irving on East 18th Street.
The exclusive residential blocks from 16th Street to Gramercy Park South between Park Avenue South and 3rd Avenue are suggestive of Old English settlements. In fact, East 19th Street between 3rd Avenue and Irving Place is known as “Block Beautiful” because it has a vast number of tenements with unique architecture and unspoiled beauty. Beth Midler’s high school Alma Mater, Washington Irving High School is also on Irving Place.
